Hey, I have a HP DV2419US laptop with the brcm1022 wireless chip. My router is a D-link DIR-655. The router is running the most recent firmware, and the laptop has the most recent drivers, under Windows 7.

My problem is this. When I turn on the wireless radio on the laptop and connect to the router, it kills the signal to all the other machines in my house. As soon as I flip the switch on the laptop to turn off the radio, or turn off the laptop, the problem goes away.

What could possibly be causing this? :confused:
 
Strange...can you meter the signal from the other devices to see if maybe the router is defective? Where is the HP laptop in relation to the router? Maybe the router is in a bad spot?
